Plucked right from a shelf of a 140 year old machine shop in its original building here in Cleveland, undoubtedly there since new. All original paint and patina, I just lightly vacuumed off an inch of dust. Has an early braided cloth cord that will be included with motor. It is still dusty and probably would benefit from a good detail cleaning. I see no breaks or damage. Nice and heavy, built like a tank, it displays great. The armature shaft spins freely. Thank you for looking.
